TBI in musical form.... ? ?
This is one of my favorite Beatles tunes, "All Too Much" (a good remake by Paul Gilbert can be viewed here.), and to me it really is a good example to me of what a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) is like for someone who has no insight into what a TBI "feels" like (or better, how it can feel).
That is to say - the various layering of this song and the weaving of the sounds is how it does "feel" like with a TBI. Particularly how there's one part where the mix gets(to me) sort of muddied, and how if you just get into the song, it has several parts that have a kind of sensation of having your head in a fish bowl/underwater vibe.
Now I am not saying that having a TBI is a wonderful musical like experience, it is rarely such. But rather that with some moments of having a TBI (at least in my experiences)it is the sensation of being on an internal remix of how things are processed, and that it can feel like someone other than yourself is at the "mixing board" of your cognition. It's like someone is adjusting the equalizer of your brain. Sorry if that sounds either "trippy", or if it makes the experience sound like others might enjoy it - as I doubt that is even remotely true at all.
Tell Me Why - The Beatles
Just trying to battle another case of "writer's block", and a good Beatles song might do the trick....
